Everton are much better organised under Allardyce but lack quality on the ball and have nothing up front

Does Zaha get a ban for diving for 1st pen? Looked to be on the way down before any contact. Very similar to the Smith claim for a penalty (not given) by Bournemouth last week, where he instead got booked for diving. Player on the way down before he gets touched despite fact that he would probably ...

Can’t believe Lineker thought the tackle looked ok in real time ... looked like a straight red to me

Ridiculous decision on Barnes’ goal

How good was the pass from Llamela for Kane?

What is Lowton’s injury?

Played well today but I always fear he is one step away from giving away a penalty or getting a red card

Has he got out of Tarkowski’s pocket yet?

To be fair, Taylor will probably be busy playing left back and left wing at the same time...

In what sense? Discounts or free delivery? Do they do good docs or comedy on the tv? If you order a lot from Amazon then it will easily pay for itself with free delivery. I don’t really watch the tv programmes, other than The Grand Tour, but there are plenty of free films on there and even some of ...

Any chance Taylor will play at left centre back ... didn’t Dyche try him there pre season?

Why on earth would Ben Mee want to go to West Brom? Can’t imagine the money would be a huge amount better, his chances of getting into the England squad would be no better and the liklehood of him being relegated would probably be higher if he was to leave January. He would also have a much longer c...

According to NHS, it normally takes 6 weeks to recover from a dislocated kneecap but if there is ligament damage as well then it will obviously take longer. Also need to balance the fact that he will have better medical care than most but ultimately needs the knee to stand up to more stresses and st...

Unless I've missed it, then seems to have all gone a bit quiet about Brady's injury. I'm assuming if it was a simple break then we would have heard by now, which suggests it is more likely to be ligament / tendon damage for which they are waiting for the swelling to go down before they scan. Time wi...

Then your nearest rival in the league comes to your ground and puts 10 men behind the ball safe in the knowledge that they will gain a point on you for next to nothing. Doesn't work mate. However I do agree there should be more reward for an away win. Or they come and go for a win knowing they will...

So you go behind in a game at home, fight like hell to get back into it and finally get a late equaliser. Well done is the answer, but you are not getting any points. No chance, a home draw is a result and should be rewarded. No, not quite good enough is the answer. You need to fight harder and try...

Basically means there is always a winner and a loser in every match, but with different levels of achievement giving different points

Arfield has played a lot of Premier League games now, has had good ones and bad ones, but has shown that, on his day, he can be very effective as a left winger. Taylor and Wells have yet to play in the Premier League and neither would have left wing as their best position. Now it may be that both ca...

1st point, I would say that if we are to play SA, he would be best used where Hendrick is currently playing, which would then place Hendrick on the left, may not be so bad I suppose. 2nd. Goalkeeping error or not, where was Bardsley, who left Gray? Not the only time either. I hope Lowton is fit soo...

kaptin1

No difference to the city pen given against us. Just shows the big club biased refs. To be fair, Pope does catch the player in the City match but he seriously exaggerates the effect. Not sure Smith was even touched today although, as said earlier, if he hadn’t dived he would have no doubt been trip...

Punditry in general is poor quality but Shearer really does add very little value. Personally, I think they should have three pundits on MOTD ... an ex manager to discuss tactics and formations, an ex player to discuss technique and positioning and an ex referee to discuss decisions.

Much better than the sh1t from last year

Swansea, Huddersfield, Brighton

Rak-su are better

If true, let’s hope it’s a clean break with no associated ligament / tendon damage.

Udders will get relegated. Very much like we were under first prem season with Dyche ... Normally hard to break down (tonight excepted) but pose very little goal threat

It is a myth that Brady is all left foot

Maybe proportionate...so small players like Sanchez get to stand closer than tall players. Had Mertersacker been playing then he would have been stood behind the goal.

The longer Wells doesn’t play the better he seems to get. Must be worth at least 3x what we paid for him already.
